best I could come up with on my enforced alcohol limitation

Ouch jammy; you're in for a tiring day!

Buggery Bollocks Wank Fuck here as well this morning. REcevied an automated phone call from my bank this morning re the last five transactions on my account, asking me to confirm if they were made by me or not. They weren't. so, I waited to speak to someone for ages, got the all operators busy, someone will call you back asap message so am waiting for them to call. Looks like my card has been cloned or something, and someone has tried to make about £1500 worth of purchases yesterday. The automated thing said "attempted" so fingers crossed I haven't lost any money.

Thing is, they are going to ask me to confirm my last transactions and I can't frigging remember . With DH being off work, he has been buying everything and I've hardly been out to use any money.

What is it with me and babies....last time this happened to me was when DS1 was tiny!!

I wish they would hurry up and phone back; I'm imagining all sorts here.

jammy

and daisy. hope you get it sorterd.

That is an arse Daisy. I had to tell the bank about my last transactions once and I was at a complete loss - and it wasn't even a joint account. Hope they get you sorted out soon.

I got Jamlet back into her cot at 5.30, then had an hours kip myself until the (reset again) alarm went at (really) 6.25. Had to wake Jamlet at 7 to get her ready for nursery and just after I'd taken her nappy off she did the biggest wee you've ever seen!! Flooded over the edge of the mat, and over the edge of the table . Then at work this morning I accidentally sent a (thankfully innocent) email to my boss that should have gone to DH! At least I've had my 3 mishaps now I hope.

Daisy that happened to me a while ago, and I got the money back. I got them to read me out the recent transactions and I just said yes or no whether they were mine.

There's a service with my credit card where you're sent a text message for every transaction, don't you have that in the UK? I check all of them now and phone them to check if I'm not sure what it is.

tsk what a backward country! Keep up

phew....got things sorted with the bank. My card has been cancelled, and I'll be refunded. Thankfully the only transaction that went through was for £2.00 to Oxfam (I'm sure there is some sort of divine retribution there!!). The other £1500 was declined at the checkout (it was internet sales apparently and they had tried three times at the one shop and a couple at another shop).

The text thing sounds like a great idea Sputnik. Not heard of it being offered as a service here.

Fin seems really constipated today. After a good start to the night with three hours between feeds, he was then up and writhing in pain and crying for four hours, with a few small feeds and napping for 10 mins between bouts of gripey pain . He has had a poo this morning; the first since this time yesterday but is till really upset with the world. Just as we thought he was getting better as well. Not sure what to do about it, if indeed anything can be done, but pooing seems to be causing him a lot of pain and discomfort .

LOL at idea of credit card fraudsters donating to oxfam. Could they not have made it £100 though!

i know! the fraud dept said when the transaction comes through on my statement to call and they will have it reinstated. I might not bother since it was such a small amount!

They were probably testing to see if it worked.

Never thought of that. Obviously Oxfam's fraud detection measures are lacking then if it went through.

My new oven is in the middle of being delivered . I am giddily excited as our old one was here when we bought the house and is at least 25 years old and hasn't worked since February!! The new one is a fancy schmancy double thing with two grills, two fan ovens, and a slow cook facility.....and it is self cleaning ...although as I remarked to the man in the shop innocently....aren't they all?

Full roast dinner for tea tomorrow night

daisy (of your dinner)

ARSE for that Daisy, but Yay for them getting onto it pronto.

That always happens to DP if he's out of the country. They stop his card and contact him with any dubious transactions. Its usually me using his card though. Technically its fraud, but hey....

Drowning in a sea of snot here.

Boast alert:

DPs family Crimbo pressies are bought and WRAPPED.

show off

I know

I have dusted the mantlepiece & 2 shelves and rearranged my angels. does that count as an achievement?

(I am in self-desruct mode today. Think I have logged on to the job sites at least once an hour)

housework of any sort, but dusting in particular, counts Ria

ok, will take the rest of the day off then

foxy, you are a lovely lovely lady . Thank you very much for the pressie, the babygro is lovely, and DH thinks it's funny that other people think I need some organisational skills as well . My New Years Resolution will be to be better at it!!

New oven is lovely, all shiny and new and clean

I have just been sent a load of nappies and some detergent for testing purposes.....the detergent, not the nappies that is. Only problem is they are size2s and DD no longer in nappies. Would it be cheeky of me to contact them and ask "terribly sorry but since I offered to do the testing, DD out of nappies, however new DS2 is in reuseables so could you please send me some newborn nappies instead?"

Is DD potty trained already Daisy?

lol norty; I wish, the state of some of the pooey nappies we have had recently .

I meant out of re-useable nappies!!

AIBU to be really with DS1 that the one person he chose to splash with fabric paint (it was an accident apparently) was the one person in the whole fecking class who was not wearing an apron. So now (even though the teacher said it was partially her own fault because she should have been wearing an apron as stated in school rules) I have to wait and see if we are expected to replace the uniform? (which is fair enough if it had been intentional)
should I also be that the person involved in the incident is the same person who spends most of their days punching DS1 and his friend and nipping DS1, with visible bruising?

And he is annoyed because he has (unfairly in his eyes, erm, no it's because you mess about) been moved down a set in maths?

And howcome, while he was stroking the cat, DS2 ends up with bleeding scratches on
his hands and in tears?

If I had anywhere to go right now I would be packed and on my way. Why does he have to attract trouble all the bloody time???

Am pleased to report that DS2 brought a letter home from school to say he is Joseph in the nativity
